Friday, December 24: Christmas Eve Worship at Peace
The 9:00 pm Christmas Eve service at Peace Community of Faith is a modern adaption of the Festival of Lessons and Carols first developed in 1880 and which has been celebrated yearly at Kings College in Cambridge, England since 1918. The service celebrates humanity’s relationship with God from Creation through the birth of Jesus. This is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels interspersed with the singing of Christmas hymns. The service will close with the singing of Silent Night and Joy to the World by candlelight.
SHARING OUR JOYS AND CONCERNS
In our pandemic-influenced world, many things have changed, but not our sense of community. We remain deeply connected even while we maintain a proper physical and social distance. We need to share news with one another. We long to know what is going on in each other’s lives. And we need a safe way to share our joys and concerns. For now, our safe way will be for you to share your joy or concern with Gary (text to 651-387-4095 or email gary@peaceumc.com) and also indicate your permission if you want him to share your news in Sunday worship, and/or with the Prayer Chain (about 25 people), and/or via the full Peace email group (about 175 people).
